What Li Longji said was very sharp. Brothers fight tigers. Father and son go into battle. Now my father is besieged by a group of tigers. You are twenty-one, do you still want to stay out of it?
Watching dad jokes? Who gave you the leisure time?
Prince Li Heng went up and messed around, which is equivalent to being killed. Now it's your turn. Aren't you smart and cunning? You can block my shot!
Li Longji's purpose is very clear.
Seeing that there was no way out, Li Mu had no choice but to say: "Father, I don't understand government affairs. If you fight with those old officials, you will definitely die. Even the prince brother has been defeated. If I go, I will be even more vulnerable."
Naturally, Li Mu couldn't leave in vain, so he retreated in order to advance.
Li Longji sneered: "Twenty-one, don't you have quick reactions and a flexible mind? Come up and practice. If you can get rid of those old guys, it will be a great achievement. Don't shirk it."
Li Mu lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Heng was secretly happy to see that he finally had a scapegoat who could divert Li Longji's attention.
As a prince, I can't control those monsters. What else can you, a broken prince, do? You will definitely die more miserably than me. Soon, my father's anger will be transferred to you.
It's better to have a group of brothers. At critical moments, I can share the blame for myself. With your support, I, Li Heng, can also take a breather. It would be better if dozens of brothers and sisters come together.
Li Heng had all kinds of random thoughts, all he could think about was using his brothers and sisters to step on his feet, block the gun, and it didn't matter whether he died or not, how much he died, as long as he was safe.
The Li family dynasty, with its fine traditions of internal fighting and murderous nature, has a tendency to be carried forward in Li Heng's place.
Li Heng thought of this and said to Li Mu: "Brother Mu, I am clumsy in my words. I cannot share my father's worries. I feel guilty. If you are eloquent, you will be able to defeat those old ministers. I will take good care of you, please hurry up."
Go ahead and don’t let down your father’s expectations of you.”
After Li Heng finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at his father. When he saw his father staring at him with cold eyes, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shut up and lowered his head.
Li Mu knew very well how Li Heng wanted to protect himself at all times. Listening to his strange words and thinking with his feet, he knew what his purpose was.
Li Mu said: "Brother, the prince, you are promoting my younger brother. The prince's majesty and momentum cannot suppress them. My younger brother is nothing. It is useless to go."
Li Longji was already a little irritable and shouted in a deep voice: "Twenty-one, do you still want to disobey me and push back and forth? What's the point?"
Seeing that his father was anxious, Li Mu smiled bitterly and said: "Father, my child is not trying to stop me, but I am just thinking about how to get out and how to come back."
Li Longji snorted coldly: "What's there to think about? Go out openly, chase away those old guys, and then come back in glory. Why do you even think about such a simple thing? Bring a few more forbidden troops and let them
You also show off your authority."
Li Mu said: "What my father said is absolutely true, but the Imperial Guards are the solemn sign of the Imperial Father and the Crown Prince's brother when they go out. I, an idle man, lead so many Imperial Guards, which looks very different. Instead, it becomes an excuse for them to attack. Father, I want to use
Use something."
Li Longji snorted and asked curiously: "You want to borrow something? Are you going to borrow money again and use money to stop their mouths? These old guys are not short of money, and money is not easy to use."
Li Longji said, his mood suddenly improved a lot. There is always something unexpected about this twenty-one. Compared with Li Heng, who is clumsy, he knows that it is much better to just listen to orders.
Li Mu smiled and said: "Father, I don't want the imperial army to support me, and I don't want gold and silver to clear the way. I want to borrow some cooks."
"Huh? You want to borrow the cook?" Li Longji grinned, "You want to treat them to a meal? Can one meal stop their mouths?"
Li Mu said: "Father, maybe it can really be done. I have good food and sexual habits. I want to give it a try. No matter how stubborn these old men are, they can't resist human nature."
As Li Mu said this, he saw that there were several fruit snacks and a plate of braised vegetables on the table in front of Li Longji. Li Mu shamelessly took a chicken leg.
Li Longji looked confused, but Li Mu's informal and intimate approach made Li Longji feel relaxed. He suddenly felt that he was not discussing a big headache, but just having a leisurely meal with his two sons.
relaxation.
Li Longji smiled and said: "You are still a child after all, Xiao Gao, just follow Twenty-One's wishes and arrange a few royal chefs to see what delicious food Twenty-One can make for us."
Gao Lishi agreed.
Li Mu took the chicken legs and hurriedly thanked him, then followed Gao Lishi and went out happily.
Li Heng kept shaking his head. When he saw Li Mu going out, he couldn't help but said: "Father, Twenty-one's actions and words are too casual and careless. This gesture, not to mention calming those old ministers, even the royal family
Even if you have a dignified appearance, you will be criticized by them."
Li Longji shouted: "Don't talk nonsense. I think there is some truth in what Twenty-one said. Holding a chicken leg is more convincing than holding a knife and gun. You are not doing things well and you are still talking behind your back. Go over there and think about it.
Pass."
Li Heng was beaten again, so he got up obediently, knelt down to the east, and faced the wall in thought.
Li Mu and Gao Lishi came out, and Gao Lishi couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, I admire you very much. Your Highness can always come up with new tricks at critical moments. Even His Majesty's anger dissipated in an instant."
Li Mu patted Gao Lishi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's a small skill, but I have to trouble Eunuch Gao."
Gao Lishi said: "Running errands for His Royal Highness, this old slave is very happy. Your Highness, what do you want the chef to do?"
The two of them chatted and laughed before arriving at the door of the imperial dining room.
Li Mu said: "Eunuch Gao, I won't go in. You go get seven or eight cooks and get more spicy ingredients, such as making spicy chicken, Maoxuewang, etc. It needs a strong taste and overflowing aroma.
The good stuff that makes people drool when smelled from a distance is brought to the side hall in front of the main hall and started there!"
Gao Lishi didn't understand what Li Mu was going to do, so he agreed wholeheartedly and went in to give instructions. After a while, there were more than a dozen kitchen helpers walking towards the main hall carrying large pots, small stoves and various ingredients.
Followed by seven or eight chefs, uniformly dressed and with cold and arrogant expressions, walked past with their heads held high.
Gao Lishi came out with a smile and asked: "Your Highness, are you satisfied with this formation?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Eunuch Gao is very thorough and meticulous in his work. I don't think I can be dissatisfied. Eunuch Gao, they will leave it to your command. Go over and cook and make rice. I will go here to pay my respects to all the ministers and grandfathers."
When Gao Lishi saw that Li Mu liked him, he was naturally overjoyed and trotted all the way to keep up with the team.
Li Mu took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand and walked slowly towards the main hall.
At this time, in the main hall, dozens of old guys were staggering around, swearing, and had no grace at all. They were no different from shrews swearing in the streets.
Li Mu gnawed on the chicken leg and walked into the hall. Immediately everyone's eyes turned to Li Mu.
What they were looking forward to was that Li Longji would finally show up, but unexpectedly a little prince arrived.
Seeing Li Mu's mouth dripping with oil after eating, everyone booed.
At the same time, they all licked their lips involuntarily, swallowed their saliva, and stared at Li Mu's hands.
Li Mu laughed and said: "Grandpas, how are you? What are you doing? Watching an outdoor movie? Or queuing up at the train station to buy tickets?"
No one understood what Li Mu meant, but seeing Li Mu being so casual, they all smiled and laughed in response.
Grandparents and grandchildren are no different. Grandparents, when they see their cute and well-behaved grandson, all their worries will disappear immediately.
This is ordinary human nature.
Li Mu's relaxed and playful style caters to the wishes of these old guys. No one will be wary of a cute and good grandson.
Li Mu sat directly in front of Li Yihe and the two princes, and then stroked the beards of Li Zhenguo and Li Shangwu.
The two old guys had their beards pulled, but they laughed happily.
Li Zhenguo said: "You little thing, you came here to cause trouble, and you dare to pull grandpa's beard. See if I don't spank you."
Li Mu said with a silly smile: "Grandpas, it seems that I haven't seen you for two years. How old are you like this? Are you hungry? Can I get chicken drumsticks for grandpa to eat?"
Li Zhenguo and Li Shangwu patted Li Mu on the head, and the depression and worries in their hearts seemed to have disappeared.
Li Shangwu said: "My dear grandson, let grandpa eat the chicken legs. How has grandpa ever suffered from this? He is so hungry that his chest touches his back."
As Li Shangwu said this, he grabbed Li Mu's drumstick. Li Mu reacted quickly and jumped away.
"If you want to eat chicken drumsticks here, there's no way. Grandpa, if you're hungry, my grandson will treat you to a feast later." Li Mu said, taking a bite of the drumstick. The greedy old guys' eyes widened.
When Li Yi saw that Li Mu was acting strangely, he was not as confused as the two old princes, so he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Li Yi grabbed Li Mu's arm and asked: "Twenty-one, are you also a lobbyist sent by His Majesty? Your feathers haven't fully grown yet, right? Do you want to stand up for me?"
Li Mu tried his best to break away from Li Yi and said: "Grandpa Li, you are so confused. What kind of lobbyist are you talking about? Who are you quarreling with? I'm just passing by, so I don't bother to care about your business."
Li Yi shouted: "Are you really not sent by His Majesty?"
